Description: | This is a post medieval cast copper alloy trade weight dating from Charles I or II (1625-1685). The piece now weighs 25.7 grams or 0.9 oz, given that the back is now heavily scarred /filed, it may have began life as a 1 oz weight. The top surface has the following verification marks:-1. A ewer - The London Founders' Company mark2. The sword of St Paul - the City of London Guildhall mark3. Crown over 'C' - the royal cipher - this mark is indistinct showing only the line at the bottom of what would be the crown.The weight has a mid to dark green patina with some edge chipping and probable, filing damage to the bottom surface.
